The brooms will be out among Carolina Hurricanes fans on Friday at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena.

After Thursday’s 4–1 victory in Game 3 of the NHL’s playoffs, two things are clear: The Philadelphia Flyers are on the verge of going home for the summer, and the Hurricanes are one victory away from advancing to Round 3 to the Eastern Conference Final. Carolina is now 7–0 in playoff opportunities this spring. The Hurricanes swept the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the postseason.
